COMMENTARY: Biden Administration’s Foreign Policy Off to a Rocky Start … China Pokes Its Finger in Our Eye

BIDEN’S TEAM TAKEN TO THE CLEANERS – President Biden’s Obama and Clinton hand-me-down foreign policy representatives – Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan – had their hats handed to them during talks with the Chinese communists in Anchorage, Alaska.

“I don’t think the overwhelming majority of countries in the world would recognize the universal values advocated by the United States or that the viewpoint of the United States could represent international public opinion,” said  Yang Jiechi, a member of the Chinese Communist Party’s Politburo, reportedly a clear indication that the CCP will no longer abide by the rules set by the United States.… read more

Trump or No Trump, Trumpism is Here to Stay

Commentary

Get used to it.  Trumpism is here to stay, whether the 45th president decides to run for reelection in 2024 or not. 

The principles of Trumpism really aren’t new, it just took Donald Trump to salvage them from a feckless establishment Republican Party.

I touched on the key elements of Trumpism in my March 1, 2021 blog, in which I recounted Trump’s CPAC speech when he said that liked it, but didn’t come up with it originally.… read more

Joe Biden: Our Placeholder President, and Those Around Him

Commentary

BIDEN’S CATHOLICISM – “Mr. Biden, perhaps the most religiously observant commander in chief in half a century,” wrote Elizabeth Dias in the New York Times, “regularly attends Mass and speaks of how his Catholic faith grounds his life and his policies.”  Note that she wrote, “his Catholic faith.” … read more

A Few Stories You May Have Missed Last Week

Commentary

THERE ARE RUMBLINGS in Washington about Joe Biden starting up talks with Iran.  Perhaps it’s because Wendy Sherman, who led Obama negotiators leading to the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran, will become deputy secretary of state under Antony Blinken, earlier announced to be his secretary of state.

“For some reason, Uncle Joe has tapped former Deputy Secretary of State William Burns to take charge at the CIA,” noted Jazz Shaw in hotair.com.… read more

Biden Can Deny It, But We Are Looking At Obama III

Commentary

As Joe Biden continues to select members of his administration in the White House and the Cabinet, I recall his commitment that they would look like the country.  He has already claimed that his initial nominees already constitute “the most diverse Cabinet in American history.”

“The Biden appointment process reminds us that diversity in practice is preponderantly political, which is to say, divisive.”… read more

Will Someone Please Tell Joe That Trump Already Brought America back?

“It’s time to shake the rust off America’s foreign policy.  It’s time to invite new voices and new visions into the fold.  America first will be the major and overriding theme of my administration.” – President Trump, April 27, 2016

Commentary

Like a sleepy groundhog, Joe Biden emerged from his basement to announce that “America is back,” further evidence that he is oblivious to the foreign policy achievements of President Trump since he left office in 2017.… read more

Voters of America … You have let us down

Worse yet … you have let President Trump down, presumably because you were ridiculously disappointed in his character and behavior.   It certainly wasn’t because he didn’t keep his campaign promises. He was in it for you, not himself.

TRUMP AND PENCE – They were in it for YOU.
(ifir.corg)

In 2016, you elected him – an outsider – because you liked the fact that he was a straight talker, and promised to change the way Washington does things. … read more

Professor’s assumptions wrong … blowing holes in his 13 keys to the White House … Nicklaus endorses Trump … and what they’re saying

THE LEFTIST MEDIA is, of course, giving professor Allan Lichtman’s 13 Keys to the White House, coverage, because he paints a picture of President Trump losing his reelection.

LICHTMAN (N.Y. Post)

You may have heard of him.  He successfully predicted the last nine presidential elections, including Trump in 2016, but his prediction of Trump’s defeat is based on highly questionable assumptions on his part. … read more

They still don’t understand Trump … party platform a thing of the past … the Democrat manifesto … reason to be wary of Dem radicals … media suppresses good economic news … blacks for Trump … Dems still taking them for granted … and the prescient Harry Truman

PARTY PLATFORM A THING OF THE PAST – To use a familiar phrase – back in the day – a party platform, outlining the party’s agenda, was an expected product of the convention; a kind of “to do list” to enable voters to understand the party’s goals. This year it has gone the way of those “smoke-filled rooms.”… read more

Intel officials report of election misinformation by Iran, Russia … Biden’s continue to deny wrong doing … Obama brings back memories … Trump’s 47 months … polls show gains for Trump … and Strzok finds work

AS I PREPARED TO PUBLISH THIS BLOG, the Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe and FBI Director Chris Wray held a press conference to alert Americans that Iran and Russia were involved in attempt to spread false information using the social media to upset our election.

Unfortunately, they didn’t provide examples of the misinformation material, which would be helpful to Americans to understand what they should be looking for in their e-mails and Internet browsing.… read more
